During my study hall I took the time to read Moon's letter. It had my name cursively and neatly written at the front. When I opened it, it was quite long, which had the back of the paper half written.
Dear Jackielyn,
It has been an interesting ride with you. I know I also had a fault for not clarifying my emotions to you which I know made you question. I just really have hard time expressing how I feel within. The fear of being judged and saying my side has always been a challenge. I know I've left you with so many blank spaces and said things that kinda made you think if I was worth being with but I promise you I'm not that kinda guy. I'm just really scared to get hurt, to be used, and to be broken. But I knew I always liked you, since the day we always went on ice cream runs with my umma. The way you always brighten everyone's mood and got excited over ice cream made me feel excited. You always made me feel included and belonged. I remember that one time we had a sleepover, you slept beside me in your guest bedroom so I wasn't alone. That morning, I woke up before you and looking at you, all I could think of is how beautiful and wonderful you are. I always had your heart Jack and I know that'll never change. So I apologize again for how I reacted and acted. In no way did I enjoy the silent treatment I gave you, I just couldn't figure out how to start talking to you again. But then I saw your letter and I knew from then I could explain to you everything I always wanted to say because........I love you. That special night we had was extra special because it was you and I appreciate you so much. My mom knew I always liked you which gave her the idea to have me live with you, she had her ways and I'm honestly grateful that I was able to stay here with you. So thank you as well for being YOU, you are the blessing God made me wait for and I can't ask for more.
Love Moon.
Once I got to the end, I started to tear up. All this time I've been thinking Dae was the one but I didn't know it was the one in front of me the whole time. Moon saw me since the beginning, he was my friend, my best friend, and now my boyfriend. It makes sense why Tita Binna always looked at me differently since I was young because something about me made her son happy.
When you really love someone, you would do all for them, you would care and understand them. God knew Moon was right for me because we just get each other, in the mist of all the rain there was always joy at the end and Moon was my joy at the end of the storm.
It started with Dae at the bench but then it ended with Moon on the bench with me. I guess you could say, you never know what to expect. Things can change unexpectedly for the better.
